Sunday should be epic as weekend action continues at Miami Open

Yesterday was busy with 32 matches — the Miami Open presented by Itaú is back on schedule as the event heads into its second week.

The women’s draw advanced eight players into the Round of 16 Saturday, with three 20-and-under players among the day’s third round winners with Alexandra Eala (20), Victoria Mboko (18) and Mirra Andreeva (18) all advancing. It will be an all-teen battle in the next round when Mboko and Andreeva face off, but first they’ll be teaming up in doubles Sunday.

The men completed their second round, and the three most recent Miami Open champions – Jakub Mensik (2025), Jannik Sinner (2024), Daniil Medvedev (2023) – were among the day’s winners.

The world’s No. 1 players will face Americans during the third round showdowns that are on tap at the Miami Open Sunday. WTA No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka will continue her title defense during the night session when she takes on Caty McNally while men’s top seed Carlos Alcaraz, the 2022 Miami Open champion, will battle No. 32 seed Sebastian Korda during the day.

A total of 10 Americans will be in action across the day’s 16 singles matches. The lineup also has five players aged 21-and-under, including two teenagers: 19-year-old Rafael Jodar and 18-year-old Iva Jovic.
